LES ESTIVANTS

Summerfolk by Maxim Gorky shows that Eric Lacascade is really back with a vengeance. After its premiere at the TNB in early 2010, the production has been touring in France and abroad, and is now returning to Rennes. This intense theatrical pleasure reflects what Eric Lacascade has been developing for a number of years now: demanding and popular art theatre. Maintaining the spirit of the group and their collective energy, he excels in his approach to the Russian repertoire. In Summerfolk the spectacle of life comes out in force and explodes, thanks to the joy of an elegant, fluid, ferocious and touching production.
Human comedy, passions, disillusion and a certain Russian intelligentsia’s rejection of the premises behind the revolution emerge in an ingeniously staged summer holiday setting. All fourteen actors present their characters in relief with liveliness, offering an alert and entertaining choral theatre. As they do every summer, Bassov and his wife Varvara return to their dacha and to their friends. Also there are Kaleria, his sister, his young brother-in-law, his secretary, the engineer Suslov, his wife Yulia, the doctor Dudakov, Olga his wife and the owner Rumin. Also coming are the student Zimin, Uncle Colon and Sonia. The peaceful holiday is disrupted by the arrival of the writer Shalimov who fights with the physician, Maria Lvovna. This cosy little world of bourgeois attitudes will eventually be turned upside down. Between exchanging confidences and making digs come renounced ideals, silent love affairs, acts of cowardice, desertion and deception.
